Grain Elevator is Key to Local Business says Director of Railway ' The grain elevator is Hie key to increased business in prince Rupert, according to I). J. McRon'gald, director of the Canadian National Railway, who was in the city yesterday and whowent East on the train after visiting Anyox. He sees a great, future with steadily increasing business for this port. "I believe that those of you who have waited a long lime will soon see some of your dreams come true." declared the prominent visitor. "With an elevator here there would be ships coming to the port, the railways would be busier, the machine shops, drydock and all the insti- : tulions connected wilh the portT) 1 II III 1 7M A 1 would gel business. It is a sin I K IX 1 1 . W A I VI A IM to see thai splendid drydock idle and the fine dock and shed not being used. It means a lot to the railway as well as to the city to have all Ihese used. The railway is vitally interesled in the development of the port of Prince 'Rupert for prosperity to one inieans prosperity to Rie other." I Business With Orient. Mr. McDougald spoke of the future business with the Orient, much or winch sliouhl come through Prince Rupert. - Millions oi people mere nan noi yei lasted grain products, but they were being graudally educated and the demand was increasing. Not so very long ago the people of Japan could not even afford atlanlic flight.' The attempt of the other two was frustrated by (o use lhe ,.ice whicIl t,,ej. grew themselves. The fine harbor, the scenery and the climate appealed very strongly lo Mr. McDougald, who, in future, will be a great booster for this port, "Of all Iritis in I lie world, I none that for comfort, grandeur i lit 1 magnitude can be compared willi the triangular tout which I am taking. The niagnificance of the scenery combined wilh tho service given by the Canadian National Railway is bound to make this one of the most popular of the world famous tours. Elevator Facilities. "When suitable elevator facilities are provided here and witli lhe grain production of Saskatchewan and Alberta increasing, there is no reason indeed for lhe people of Prince Rupert lo be pessimistic. It should be borne in mind that Ihe export of wheat ' ",e Orient is only beginning. Every year should see additional acmities in gram export this way,, and Prince Rupert, situated as it is from three lo four days nearer the Orient I ban any other port on the Pacific, s)io.uld forthwith put herself in a position lo take advantage of this trade." Looking out across the har bor Mr. McDougald enthused over Ihe prospect. "There is nothing like it anywhere that I know," he said. "This is a wonderful "ouutry." Mr. McDougald lives In ro- ronlo, where he is a member of 'he financial house of 1). J. McDougald Co., handling govern ment and municipal bonds.
